How to buy a search

Buying an NLIS search is really easy. The first thing you need to do is to register with one of the licenced NLIS Channel Providers.

The current NLIS Channels are:

Simple steps to buy a search

1.	The user (normally a solicitor or licensed conveyancer) logs on to their preferred NLIS Licensed Channel and selects one or more property searches online.
2.	The Channel then forwards the order, which will be accompanied by a payment instruction, to the NLIS Hub (also operated under licence), which manages the technical infrastructure and payment processes and forwards orders and payments on to the relevant data providers.
3.	Upon search completion the NLIS Hub returns the search reply to the originating Channel, which in turn sends it back to the solicitor or conveyancer.
4.	Depending on which type of search has been ordered, the whole process can take as little two minutes.

Once your search has been processed then the NLIS Channels are on hand to help with any queries that you may have.
